Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method, a system, a node, and a computer storage medium for controlling video playback. The method for controlling video playback can be applied to a content distribution network (CDN) node. The method comprises: receiving a video playback request from a terminal; obtaining a first playback control strategy script matching the video playback request; wherein the first playback control strategy script is obtained by the CDN node in advance; executing the first playback control strategy script, so as to obtain a first playback strategy, and outputting video data to the terminal on the basis of the first playback strategy.

Description

Video playback control method, system, node and computer storage medium

Technical field

The present disclosure relates to the field of Content Delivery Network (CDN), and in particular, to a video playback control method, system, node, and computer storage medium.

Background technique

The current mainstream video CDNs are based on anti-theft chain, improve user quality, reduce bandwidth cost, and provide different quality services according to user types (such as free users and member users), and perform policy control on CDN nodes, such as video data speed limit. Transmission, reduction of video playback rate, termination of playback, etc., are of course not limited to the above-described policy control methods.

There are usually two ways to implement policy control: one way is that the Uniform Resource Locator (URL, the Uniform Resource Locator) sent by the terminal to the CDN node contains the policy information, and the URL is decrypted on the CDN node and played according to the source station. The control policy requires the execution of the corresponding play policy; the other way is that the URL sent by the terminal to the CDN node contains the policy information, the CDN node forwards the user request to the policy gateway of the source station, and the policy gateway dynamically returns the policy result, and the CDN node according to the CDN node The strategy result performs the corresponding action.

The disadvantage of the first method is that the source station needs to inform the CDN node of the logic of the control policy. At this time, the CDN node can obtain sensitive service information, such as user identifier (ID, Identifier), user level, membership, payment, etc. Information, which has a high commercial value to the source station and is generally reluctant to leak. In the second method, the interaction between the user request and the policy gateway returning the policy result may cause the terminal to start playing longer and the user experience is affected.

The service information may include sensitive service information such as a user identifier, a user level, whether it is a member user, and whether the payment is made. The CDN node obtains the key part by executing the first play control policy script, and obtains a corresponding first play policy based on the key part; the first play policy includes a speed limit bandwidth and the like. Then, the CDN node can output video data to the terminal according to the first playing policy (such as the speed limit bandwidth).

As an implementation manner, after the performing the first play control policy script, parsing the video play request, and obtaining a key part carried by the video play request, the method further includes: decrypting the key part to obtain a video A unique identifier of the content, the cache identifier of the cache area of the video content is set to be uniquely identified.

Optionally, the CDN node parses the URL that represents the video play request by performing a first play control policy script, and obtains a key part carried by the video play request, where the key part includes an IP address of the terminal; The play control policy script verifies the validity of the IP address; if it is determined that the IP address belongs to an illegal IP address, it does not respond to the video play request of the terminal.

As an implementation manner, the executing the first play control policy script includes: parsing the video play request, obtaining video content information corresponding to the video play request, and determining whether the video content exists based on the video content information. And when the video content does not exist, generating a return source address based on executing the first play control policy script, connecting the source station based on the return source address, and obtaining video content.

Optionally, the CDN node parses the URL that represents the video play request by executing the first play control policy script, and obtains a key part carried by the video play request, where the key part includes requesting the video content, that is, obtaining the video content information; The CDN node determines whether the video content exists according to the video content information; if not, it needs to construct a return source URL, and obtain the video content from the source station based on the return source URL.

As an implementation manner, the generating the return source address based on executing the first play control policy script, connecting the source station based on the return source address, and obtaining the video content, includes: generating the script based on executing the first play control policy a primary source address and an alternate source address; determining whether to obtain video content based on the primary source address connection source station; if the video content is not obtained based on the primary source address (eg, the primary source address connection timeout) The source content is obtained by connecting the source station based on the alternate source address.

With the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the play control policy script is obtained in advance through the CDN node, and the first play control policy script matching the video play request is executed, thereby obtaining a play control policy matching the video play request of the terminal, without using the CDN. The node obtains sensitive information and can also implement the playback control policy specified by the source station; on the other hand, the CDN node does not need to forward the video playback request to the source station, thereby avoiding the extension of the terminal playback start time and greatly improving the user experience. In addition, for CDN systems, there are usually cache acceleration services for many source stations, ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands. In general, there are personalized appeals for anti-theft chain, playback control strategy, same video content identification, cache and cache time, return source address setting and disaster tolerance. If the CDN system customizes each source station according to its requirements. Development will inevitably lead to slow response, large workload, high cost and frequent system upgrades. However, the embodiment of the present disclosure is deployed in a CDN node by using a play control policy script, so that the CDN node does not need to perform custom development for each source station, and only the source station needs to perform simple script development to achieve docking.
